Do you have a ton of old paper photos fading and gathering dust? Do you want to upload digital photos to Rhonda Kaye Studios to create a movie? Here are just a few of the many ways you can digitize your paper photos:
Scan with a Phone App
There are many apps that will allow you to scan your photos from your cell phone. PhotoScan by Google is a good choice. Using this method is fast, easy and free, but it does not necessarily give you the best quality. Thankfully, viewing your photos online doesn’t require high resolution images, but if you want to be able to print them now or in the future, you may want to choose an option that will provide higher resolution.
PhotoScan by Google Photos
Scan with a Scanner
Especially if you want high resolution scans of your photos, you may want to invest in either a flatbed scanner or a document scanner. If the paper on which your photos reside is torn or bent, a flatbed scanner is best as a document scanner can rip your rough photos as they are moved through the machine. You can reference this article, “The Best Photo Scanners for 2021”.
Hire a Scanning Service
There are many photo scanning services on the market. However, if a local option is not available, you have to be comfortable with shipping your irreplaceable photos off in order to choose this option. Also, this can be very expensive.
